First, can you get into download mode? If so Download the stock att Rom and flash it through odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
no i can't. i can't get into download mode.
the phone is basically 100% unresponsive. it's just turned off and doesn't respond no matter what i try (download mode, etc.).
usb jig? i don't have one but is it worth a shot (buying one)?
Flashing anything for a different device will definitely brick it. I think you're going to have to get it replaced.
If you fire up Odin and plug it in, wait a few mins, hold Vol down and power - does com port on Odin read anything even if the screen is off?

The way you mentioned in your post Look like You have a hard brick your phone. If you cannot get into download mode in any kind of way That means you have brick your phone in a hard way. You will have to return the phone to the Samsung for repair.

If you do manage to recover or get it fixed otherwise... Don't flash zImages at all. The non intl note uses a complete boot.img file containing the zImage, ramdisk, and a header, all packaged together.
That done with... Not sure how flashing just the zImage could have hard bricked unless you flashed over the recovery partition or wherever the bootloader (contains dowload mode) resides.

yeah, ur phone's a paper weight my friend. only debricking service qsload usb will fix it.
I read about this yesterday, supposedly there is a jig setup that will work. I'm not 100%, because I haven't had to do this (knocks on wood), check the forums, someone just did this yesterday. I think I read too that there's JTAG services for it.

Haha seems like you went way out of your way to brick your phone. When Odin is throwing up errors you should know something is wrong.
Either way, you should always read up an entire post of a Rom. It usually states exactly what phone it was made for and should only be flashed on that phone model.

Re-reading my post, it looks to me like it boils down to loading the zImage "CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LB1-v5.0-CWM5.zip" that bricked my phone.

Yeah, wrote over recovery partition, and who knows what else. I know from my sprint days, we had to backup Wimax just in case. Some phones are partitioned differently than others, flashing any low level stuff like that might write over a different partition

ok lesson learned. i don't do anything that doesn't specifically call out the AT&T I717 from now on.
thanks everyone. AT&T sent out my replacement phone. looks like it'll be a week or so before i get it though. until then, back to my old dell streak running one of dj_steve's ROMs.
This is what happens on this site. There are many people who are happy to help, but many who like to make you feel like a tool for asking for help. On the other hand, op should have done a lot of research before screwing around with the phone.

ok so i was running SH 3.9.1 and decided to go back to stock so i odined back to jfd and then tried to update with kies and now my phone will not even turn on anyone have any clue on what i need to do or if there is anything i can do
a)did you flash gingerbread bootloaders? If you so and you didn't flash back the froyo bootloaders before using keis your probally f***** up your phone. Need a jtag
b)if you didn't flash any bootloaders just call tmobile and tell them keis f***ed up your phone
c)you could just lie to tmobile and tell them keis f***ed up your phone
seconded... (holds up blank phone)
same issues here, odined JFD, all was working fine, went to update via Kies, and it completed, rebooted, and did not come up after waiting over a half hour
no lights, can't get to download or recovery modes..

lol yeah i see that now and funny thing is i was actually coming from your rom EB.
The "Kies" effed up my phone has got to be the #1 over used excuse. Probably used more often then it actually does, but IT DOES! so its easy to get by with. I'd have to imagine in this situation its bootloader related. People should honestly fess up when they bork up their own device and pay the fee to get it jtaged. Just my 2cents.
As the old Chinese proverb goes:
"You break, You buy!"
I agree with you on that and it probably was my fault it messed up but im also broke otherwise i would of gone that route
one of these days there gonna catch on
Wow..... you guys.... bootloaders for vibrant are backward compatible..... even still.... you could have built a custom jig for $1.19, some scotch tape, and an old car charger. read the stickies yo.... I've had bad bootloader flashes at least 20 times now with odin and my cheap little jig has me back in dl mode in seconds.

Oh yea there is definitely a worse step than that screen. It's called NOTHING. Literally your phone is worthless at that point without a good JTAG technician. I see it over 100 times a month... . Not trying to be a smarty just letting you know that there are scenarios in which the JIG is worthless and you will need someone to JTAG there phone.

Just realized i meant to post this here
Been using ics passion for a couple months now as a daily driver and havent had many issues, but i recently read about the ics encryptiom bug that basically randomly bricks phones for no reason so im thinking about switching away till its safe...
I just wanna be sure what roms have this bug?
Also whats ics passion based on?
So would it be all ics or just CM9? Nexus ports? Aosp? Gsii?
Thank you in advance

I encountered the deadly "Encryption Unsuccessful" bug while running doc masters ics rom v5. Now I don't know whether this is the case for all ics roms but just to be safe you should stay away from ics altogether. I was never able to fix my vibrant no matter what I did I couldn't bring it back to life...so you've been warned.
Of course things are much better now that I have a new Gnex with official ics 4.0.4
Very cool about the gnex... for the vibrant, have you tried unbrickable mod?? Maybe itll fix it

Sent from a cell tower to the XDA server to you.
The Jtagging method is not any different than odin. I am able to flash anything through download mode. But not CWM which doesn't exist in my case. I have lost complete access to my internal flash memory...it is unable to mount because it is encrypted with a key in which i don't know. And i don't know how to decrypt it at this point.
The second method which is the hard mod method seems to be a little risky. I won't even bother trying that method since it is useless in my case. You see my phone is not "hard" bricked it is "soft" bricked. With that being said my phone turns on...boots up...i can enter download mode...access stock recovery not CWM...and access external sdcard through adb...thats it.
The only way to save my phone would be to create a temporary partition on my external sd card to act as its main memory. All that while being done through adb commands if even possible. So at this point my phone is complete paperweight until someone finds a solution.
I think this will eventually become a widespread problem sooner or later on all ICS roms. When the time comes somebody out there on these forums will eventually find a solution. Or at least i hope.
Thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it but my phone is bricked for now.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
from my understanding, both jtag and unbrickable mod start at the primary bootloader level and rewrite everything up from there, which i would assume includes sdcard too..
Are you sure youre not confusing jtag with jig??

My mistake. But i see that they charge $40 to fix your phone. There is no way I'm sending my phone to those guys. I have some personal data on my vibrant that I'll never let anybody get a hold of such as credit card info etc.
I am much happier now with my new Galaxy Nexus. I don't really care about my bricked vibrant that much anymore. But i still plan on fixing it in the near future when somebody comes up with a solution that is free of charge.

I sent mine to them for a broken USB port, I just wiped beforehand just in-case (even though I left a backup). If I can't fix something myself, it's better to pay a little for it, than to have to buy a new phone.

Download mode would indicate that the device is able to connect, as the USB drivers, or at least a portion of them, are contained in the download mode program.
But if the data is corrupted or missing, due to software or hardware issues, then the process would fail.
So you get "no " COM " detection at all ??
If not ...it's a JTAG fix most likely ....g

i agree that if you can get into download mode, then youre good. if the pc doesnt see it, then its most likely a driver issue. even if you have "a" driver specifically for it, there may be a different one that you would need for it to be seen in download mode. Hard brick is when the phone wont turn on or its just black and there is no download mode and no recovery mode. download mode is where its at! dont mean to get off topic.........Let us know how the jtag goes!

Okay, Im an ass so I say that up front. I flashed a bad kernel and I hardbricked my 5 day old galaxy s3 fro Tmobile. I took it to the local repair place that does JTAG repairs, which btw, does not work on the weekends. according to them the JTAG'ing takes 40 hours which I think is more because I kept calling and seeing if the phone was showing any signs of life. Anyone know how long the actual JTAG procedure actually takes cause 40 hours seems like a long time to me. Even after they said there was no guarantee that it would work and bring my phone back from the dead.
I am not new to rooting or flashing roms and kernels and things of that nature. So for the record I did not read first about bad kernels floating about so again Im an ass.
First mistake was flashing anything from this forum, this is for the international version ONLY.
Secondly a jtag should bring it back to life.
I'm not sure of the timeframe but 40 hours seems like a lot of time to do anything.

A kernel won't hardbrick a phone. If you flash a correct kernel it should boot. A way to brick it is to flash a wrong firmware from here. Cause the first thing being flashed on a firmware with odin is bootloader. Then you will have an expensive paperweight.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
afaik s3 has separate kernel and recovery where flashing a kernel dosent touch the recovery , so practically it should not be hard bricked
If I were you I would approach to XDA forum first! where all the " DO DOES " happen!
are you 100% sure its bricked?
I dont really know about it, but from my experience bootloader flash and emmc bug are the only ways to hardbrick S3, flashing wrong kernel should make your phone unbootable, but shouldnt do a **** to your download mode (if flashed right, put under pda in odin), however if you put it under bootloader box, than it might flashed kernel on bootloader partition which deffinatly makes hard brick.

Kinda like me I still use my S3 as a backup phone for streaming music on Wi-Fi/hotspot, playing games, hooking it up to my tv, and flashing ROM's when I get an itch, and don't feel like changing my current Note setup. I really like the Galaxy Mod ROM for the S3 mainly because it has Multiwindow, which I can no longer live without!

So, you flashed a Note 2 kernel that is for an Exynos SoC to the SGS3, which is a Qualcomm SoC? I'm not sure why anyone would even think to try this in the first place, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to warn everyone. Also, this is exactly the reason VZW locks the bootloader, because people do things like this and then get warranty replacements.
As for fixing it, you should be able to, but you likely need a USB jig to force it into download mode, then a full Odin tar plus a PIT file so you can re-partition properly.
Exactly what imnuts said. People sending their phones back for warranty replacement due to mistakes THEY made themselves is exactly why verizon is locking bootloaders and why rooting voids your warranty. If people took responsibility for their own actions, the rest of us wouldn't have to pay for the consequences.
Should change the title to I bricked my phone by flashing a kernel that was not made for my phone. The kernel did not brick your phone you did by making a really bad decision.
This thread is bad and you should feel bad, too.

This may be the most ridiculous thread I've seen in a long time. But only the fact instead of paying for his mistake he thinks some how is Samsung responsibly, but how completely ridiculous he was to knowingly flash a note 2 kernel on a s3.
op why do you think there are different sub forums for phones and even carriers. You're probably one of the people who flashed an international ROM too. ...Then sent your hard bricked phone in for warranty

Screwing up is forgetting to check the md5 and soft briking. Flashing a kernel made for a different phone ON PURPOSE then, instead of paying for it himself, decides it's somehow Samsung fault. Oh and then posting here like it's the kernels fault is ignorance!

Uh forgetting to check MD5 can be more than just screwing up. Do that with an HTC hboot that is corrupt and no soft brick for you!

Instead of criticizing, just help the person. We all make mistakes. Just find the Odin stock zip of your device. Here's a fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065470
